I thought Thursday was the 1/2 since screenings didn't start until 8pm.

I guess they're estimating Sunday already and presenting a 3.5 day total on Sunday morning.

Ironman isn't as well known outside of comic book geekdom as Superman, Batman or Spider-man. But everything I heard about this film leading up to its release convinced me it would do very well …but damn, not this well. That's frickin' amazing.

It'll be interesting to see whether Warner Bros. can top those numbers with The Dark Knight and if Marvel has successfully rebooted the Hulk franchise.

I've often wondered why we, the public, give one care about how much money a movie makes..

Do we care about Sony profits on PS3?
Do we care about how much profit a film makes on DVD?
Do we care about the bottom-line at Wal-Mart?

Seems that it is all about how much a movie makes, rather than if it is any good or not. POTC 3 was crap, but made a ton of money. So who cares?

Because whether people like it or not, box office/video sales defines a film's success.

Because if a good movie does really well, it's a message to Hollywood that good movies do well.

Also, POTC3 was a sequel. It's a big difference when an original film explodes at the box office. Sequels are expected to do well. That's why they're made.

We care because we want more of the same....and that is how we get it.

It is Thursday through Sunday. Sunday has always been estimated on Saturday night/Sunday morning. The furthest I've ever seen official estimates be off is by about $3 million (when the numbers are this large).

This is one of the best superhero movies so far and it should be on BD for the holiday season.

'IRON MAN' IS A ROCKETMAN: SOARS TO $201 MILLION WEEKEND WORLDWIDE; ..."It Beat Will Smith And Jesus!"


Source

Quote:
SUNDAY AM: Here are the official blockbuster numbers -- Paramount Pictures release of Marvel Studios’ Iron Man, in 4,105 theaters, made an estimated $35,125,000 on Friday 5/2, an estimated $37,500,000 on Saturday 5/3, for an estimated 3-day weekend box office of $100,750,000. Advance screenings in select locations, about 2,500 venues, from 8:00 PM to midnight on Thursday 5/1 contributed an additional $3,500,000. With this addition, the total estimated box office is $104,250,000. The estimated international box office for the weekend is $96,750,000 from 57 territories. The total combined estimated global box office for Marvel Studios' Iron Man is $201,000,000.

"It beat Will Smith and Jesus!" gushed a Paramount insider referring to the openings of I Am Legend and The Passion Of The Christ. "It's just mind-blowing. Internally, some people were going into high 80sM and low 90sM but people were laughing at them. We had our own box office poll and maybe one person thought $100M." The monster numbers now make Iron Man the second biggest 3-day release for a non-sequel in the history of Hollywood, behind only Sony's first Spider-Man. The $140 million production self-financed by Marvel was also distibutor Paramount's biggest live action opening of all time. I understand that, at first, Paramount thought Thursday's advance screenings generated $5 million, but then discovered that $1.7 million ended up being for 12:01 AM shows so that money went towards Friday gross.

What the heck is so special about this flick ?

I like the marvel movies so far, but this one looks stupid.
Never heard about this "Superhero" though.

But I guess I have to watch it for the sakes of all...

Variety has it estimated at $104.2 million for this weekend. Since its still early I see it soaring higher. I'm thinking. Friday: 34million, Saturday 40million, Sunday 40million. With a grand total estimate of $114million

I had the same feelings as you did. Looking at the previews thinking, oh great here we go again. Then I decided to go Friday afternoon and lets just say I'm going again. I'm going to try to get my brother and dad to go with me this time
